Happy Spring to all our beautiful and loyal, Denim Star®, Sock Stars out there!  As you may or may not know, this

will be our last episode of Season 4, of “Socks and Sandals and Other Scandals Morning Cuppa Podcast” as Denim Star® gets set to temporarily go “Under Construction” for the next 6 months or so, as we do a digital detox and undertake our Denim Star® Socks re-branding. But before we do, we’d like to dive right into Episode 4, in honour of Earth Day, which, really for Denim Star®, we try to make happen everyday, as we take a look at what is on the agenda for Earth Day this year and its campaign theme “Planet vs Plastics”.

Happy March to all our beautiful Denim Star, Sock Stars! Although we have all the usual players on our March dance card for events and celebrations this year.  This month we are going to hone in on one calendar event you might not know about, “As Young As You Feel Day” as well as one that you do know, “International Women’s Day” in a

collaboration that will help celebrate the life, of one of the most inspiring personalities in my life time, who sadly, just recently passed on March 1, 2024, at the ripe old age of 102! The one, the only, Ms. Iris Apfel, listen in with Billie and I Emma Lucy Brown on this hot topic!

Hello to all our beautiful Denim Star, Sock Stars out there! Here’s wishing everybody an amazing 2024! And speaking of 2024, this year marks a special occasion in that, it only happens once, every 4 years.  Yes you got it. We’re talking about leap year.  It’s a Leap Year this year!!  Remember that old Mother Goose Leap Year rhyme: “Thirty days hath September, April, June and November.  All the rest have thirty-one, Excepting February alone, And that has twenty-eight days clear And twenty-nine in each leap year.” And for those of you who need a Leap Year 101 refresher course.  Here she goes.  For millennia, human beings have had a 0.24219 problem.  It’s that pesky extra five hours, 48 minutes and 45 seconds at the end of Earth’s 365-day journey around the Sun. And for as long as we’re here on planet earth and want to keep

track of the date, that number will always be there to cause a problem. Listen in with myself Emma and Billie take a deep dive as we take a look at this forgotten date on the calendar and look at some of the leaps and bounds of February 29th that we know about!

scandal for quite some time have we? Was it “mankles”?  So without further adieu, let’s jump right in, the temperature is perfect haha!

So what exactly is adaptive fashion you might ask? Adaptive clothing is apparel that has been designed for people who have difficulties dressing themselves due to age, disability or general lack of mobility. And how technology is being used for fabrics to help us adapt to our new broiling environment. Listen in with Billie & I, Emma Lucy Brown Founder of Denim Star® on this hot topic. Enjoy!

Happy Summer to our beautiful Denim Star, Sock Stars! We hope y’all are enjoying your summer vacays this year. Even more so after we all took that crash “summer school” course at Denim Star U, learning about getting a handle on living more sustainably and what we can all do to help save the planet together. Now that we all passed our Back to School crash course with flying colours, we can say for certain that School’s Out For Summer folks! As we take a deep dive into looking at some of the good news stories out there, that will all help us, not to contribute to “Clothes Mountain” that we talked about in the last episode, that was picked up by satellite, due to its humongous size!! Join in with Emma and Billie for this hot topic!!!

Happy Summer folks! We hope all our beautiful Denim Star, Sock Stars are diving right in this summer as for many of us now, it really does feel like things are back to normal (whatever that is for the time being anyway) now that WHO officially declared Covid a non-emergency and are seeing concerts, festivals, and travellers make a full comeback for the most part. Whatever theme or plans your Summer will bring you this year: that Summer Book list you want to bite right into, the trending “Do Nothing Vacation” that will allow you to recharge and unplug; or simply trying to get your hands on a pair of Adidas “Sambas” this summer to complete your quiet lux look. We want to hear and see your Summer plans this season. Drop us a line on Instagram!  As for Denim Star, it’s a back to school Summer.  Remember your fellow students and pals who had to head back to the drawing board at Summer School?  Well Denim Star is doing just that, as we recap what Denim Star had to showcase sustainably at Pure London, along with our new packaging, not to mention, having a boo at the Fashion Industry’s environmental report card to see where the industry stands and what more we can all do this summer to up our marks and ace the test.  No green-washing allowed at Summer School and beyond!!

Let’s Shine On! Even more so, after I was shocked to learn after following, Holly Tucker, of, Holly’s Desk Notes. Where, after having a dream, she noted that we experience emotions all the time, and that feelings are raw creativity, but that, isn’t it funny, how we don’t recognize that we live in art constantly? Holly went on to say that one of the most crucial things we can do for humankind is to keep championing creativity, art and imagination, that will inherently make us, not only human, but also part of planet Earth. And when it comes to the next generation. We have to instill the importance of what makes us, us! This ability to dream and make whatever we visualize come true. Which stems from having the confidence to think differently. And isn’t that one of the most powerful things we can possess? Listen in to Emma & Billie discuss this hot topic.

Happy Spring to all our beautiful Denim Star®, Sock Stars out there! Morning once again from Socks and Sandals and Other Scandals Morning Cuppa with Emma & Billy. Hope everyone had a lovely Easter and a fab Earth Day this year and received our Happy Earth Day email announcement. And with May upon us, don’t forget that there’s Cinco De Mayo on the 5th, for all our beautiful Mexican fans. And for all our loyal British followers, who could forget that we have King Charles III Coronation on May 6th (hasn’t been one since 1953). Followed by a spot of cleaning at the end of the month with, The Great British Spring Clean on May 28th.. So let’s dive right in with this month’s topic on “Quiet Luxury” shall we?
